Pot of Gold Print

Pot of Gold Print

As far back as I can remember, St. Patrick's Day in the United States was about little leprechauns who hid their pots of gold underneath the ends of rainbows. Kingsley, my favorite full-blooded Irishman from Wexford (Ireland), dislikes how the world depicts leprechauns. The distain is clear from his body language.

"Everyone always makes them look like weak little weird people", he'd say. He doesn't like how the depiction and marketing of leprechauns affect how others perceive Irish people. I can relate to that. I've grown up seeing art in the US stereotyping people of Asian descent as feeble and buck-toothed -which is of course, not true. I can understand how art can affect people's perception of one's ethnicity and culture.

Knowing how art can alter minds, I thought I'd help people change the imagination of leprechauns to something more attractive -like how people see Zeus or Hercules in their minds. And thus, I've painted a scene showing a muscular captive leprechaun (based off Kingsley) patiently waiting on his giant pot of gold for someone to release him. 

Who's going to be the lucky one?

Aligned with Rome Pride 2022, this piece was shown in the "Ultraqueer" exhibition within the Palazzo Merulana museum in Rome, Italy. This landmark exhibition aimed to challenge the long history of oppressive principles set by the heteropatriarchal binary system, promote identity self-reflection, and raise awareness of homotransphobic and intersectional discrimination.

Being a part of the Sex Positivity portion of the exhibit, it was designed to challenge taboos that still permeate today's society and attack stigma that follow various sex practices.

Signed Collector's Edition Prints

If you're interested in a custom-sized, hand-signed print of any of my pieces, look no further. Unlike standard prints, Collector's Edition prints use thick, archival 100% cotton rag fine art paper, and are printed with archival inks. See below for more paper and ink specifications.

If this sounds like what you're looking for, shoot me an email or message on Instagram and let's chat!

  • How It Works

    Standard prints are made only when orders are placed. So when you place an order, my printing partner and I will be notified. Once your order is processed, my printing partner will package and ship your products to you. I love this method because it avoids overproduction which reduces environmental waste! Easy-peasy. Standard prints are not hand-signed.

    If you'd like to order Collector's Edition prints, you can learn more about them here.

    Borders help with the matting and framing process. It also helps prevent finger prints or accidents from damaging the actual print area.
